Urban Transitions Workshop II

DATE

29 Oct 2016

The City of Malmö will co-host the next Urban Transitions Workshop with Climate-KIC on 29 November at the fantastic purpose built Malmö Live centre in the heart of the city.

The workshop is aimed at our whole urban transition community across Europe and organisations interested in becoming Climate-KIC partners will also be invited. We are looking to include both those wanting to share their experiences of delivering solutions and those who have challenges which need answers. The workshop is a practical opportunity to get inspired, to make new connections, find answers, and to actively engage in making plans to scale impact.

Workshop participants are also welcome to join Malmö City’s major international conference Sustainable City Development Conference (SCD) also being held at at Malmö Live , from 30 November – 2 December with Climate-KIC as a co-organiser.
